The percentage of people who would legitimately use the event for its original purpose is outnumbered by those who could just pull a hood wink for a chance to get some rare ceremonial gear.

Let's be honest there are WAY more Straight players then Gay players. By a large margin. It would upset the traditional tone they set in FFXI for the benefit of a small minority of the player base.



Not that there is anything wrong with that lol

However you must admit that the likelihood for abuse is much higher in a virtual setting with clear gain then someone setting up that kind of capper IRL. Some things are just not ready for a video game setting yet.
